What is a Democracy
• It has also been
suggested that a basic
feature of democracy is
the capacity of
individuals to participate
freely and fully in the life
of their society.[20]

What is a Democracy
Democracy consists of four basic
elements:
1. A political system for choosing and
replacing the government through
free and fair elections.
2. The active participation of the
people, as citizens, in politics and civic
life.
3. Protection of the human rights of all
citizens.
4. A rule of law, in which the laws and http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gMAJRyRbUZk/TTMYVueA_7I/AA

procedures apply equally to all
citizens.

What is a Public Library
How did public libraries get started? January 17, 2006
Dear Straight Dope:

I googled the hell out of this and the best resources I could find
(Wikipedia, etc.) could only tell me about the origin of
libraries in general, back in ancient times, or the beginnings
of specific libraries in America. Call it nerdy curiosity if you
want, but I am kind of young (25) and so do not know a
time before public lending libraries. They have been all over
the place in the different states I have lived. They let you
borrow and read all sorts of books--for free!
Call me crazy but I started wondering, how did the public
libraries as we know them today come about?
Some bibliophile President or First Lady in the 1950s
http://www.straightdope. decided it was important and got the ball rolling or
com/columns/read/2236/ something? And how do they stay around? Even if the
how-did-public-libraries- books are donated, the staff are volunteers, and taxes pay
get-started for necessities, that still doesn't cover the property and
building itself, let alone new books and computer systems.
Don't tell me it's all late fees!

There are five fundamental characteristics shared by
public libraries.
- they are supported by taxes (usually
local, though any level of government
can and may contribute);
- they are governed by a board to serve
the public interest;
- they are open to all and every
community member can access the
collection;
- they are entirely voluntary in that no
one is ever forced to use the services
provided; and
- public libraries provide basic services
without charge.[1]

Libraries For Democracy is a
new (as of July 4th, 2011) web-based service to
libraries and the general public.
It encourages libraries to provide democracy and social
issues related information and programming to their
communities. It also provides free, non-partisan
information to the public. LFD needs library members.

Reading this book will not turn a reader into
a qualified specialist on library buildings,
but it will help librarians and others learn
what should be known about a project so
that they may function effectively as part
of the planning team.
The concept of modern libraries is moving
toward interactive connections with
information sources far beyond the
immediate community.
For the contemporary public library, this
means connection to a network, with
several terminals constantly online to the
Internet.
New library buildings must be constructed http://covers.powells.com/9781122484398.jpg
with these and other needs in mind. ISBN13: 9781122484398
The public library director needs information that helps in understanding what is
involved in planning for a public library building project.
